Working Lung Model Engineering Lab — Boyle's Law & Breathing
This lab uses the principles of Boyle’s Law to demonstrate how the human body manipulates air pressure to sustain life. It is one of the most effective ways to visualize a process that happens internally and invisibly every few seconds. Activity DescriptionThe Working Lung Model is a physical simulation of the thoracic cavity. By pulling on the bottom balloon (the diaphragm), students increase the volume inside the cup (the chest). This creates a vacuum (low pressure), forcing outside air to
